  1. Chapter 2 Matter

  2. 2.1 Nature of Matter Objectives • To learn about the composition of matter • To learn the difference between elements and compounds • To define the three states of matter

  3. A. The Particulate Nature of Matter • Matter is the stuff of which the universe is made of. • Matter comes in many forms Ex. Stars, the air we breath, food we eat, and the Earth we live on. • Has two characteristics • Has mass • Takes up space

  4. The Atomic Nature of Matter • All matter consists of similar tiny particles called atoms. • Atom is the fundamental unit of which elements are made of. • Ex Copper Atoms

  5. B. Elements and Compounds • Scientist have learned that all matter is made up of 100 different types of atoms. • Nitrogen atoms are different form oxygen atoms, which in turn is different from copper atoms. • We call these 100 types of atoms the elements of the universe.

  6. Compounds • In much the same way that we use a few letters to make thousands of words, we use atoms to construct all matter. • Just like letters combine to make different words, atoms combine to form different compounds. • Compounds are substances made by bonding atoms together in specific ways.

  7. Compounds • Compounds are substances that contain two or more different types of atoms.

  8. Compounds • If you could magically travel inside a glass of water and examine its parts, you would see particles consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. • We call this particle a molecule. • Molecule is made up of atoms that are stuck together. • All molecules of a compound are the same.

  9. Elements • Elements contain only one type of atom – elemental copper contains only copper atoms and elemental gold contains only gold atoms.

  10. C. The States of Matter • Matter exists in three states: • Solid: a rigid substance with a definite shape • Liquid: has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container • Gas: takes the shape and volume of its container

  11. 2.3 Classifying Matter Objectives • To learn to distinguish between mixtures and pure substances • To learn two methods of separating mixtures

  12. A. Mixtures and Pure Substances • Virtually all the matter around us consists of mixtures of substances. • The air we breath is a mixture. • The soil is a mixture. • Even the water from a drinking fountain is mixture. How? • Matter can be classified as a mixture or a pure substance.

  13. Mixtures • Mixture can be defined as something that has variable composition. • Examples- wood, soda, the air we breath, underground water and coffee. • The composition of mixtures varies, but the composition of compounds is always the same.

  14. Mixtures • There are two types of mixtures. • Mixtures can be classified as heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures. • Heterogeneous mixtures are unevenly mixed, meaning that it contains regions that have different properties from those of other regions. Ex. Sand, salad, trail mix.

  15. Mixtures • Homogeneous mixtures are evenly mixed throughout, meaning they are the same throughout. • Homogeneous mixtures can also be called: • Solution- mixture involving a liquid • Alloy- mixture of metals

  16. Mixtures • Alloy

  17. Water is a compound. All the components are the same—H2O molecules. Pure Substances • A pure substance always has the same composition. • Pure substances are of two types: • Compounds which can be chemically broken down into elements • Elements which cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances

  18. B. Separation of Mixtures Mixtures can be separated into pure substances by various means. Distillation: involves boiling

  19. B. Separation of Mixtures Filtration

  20. Summary: The Organization of Matter

  21. 2.2 Properties of Matter Objectives • To learn to distinguish between physical and chemical properties • To learn to distinguish between physical and chemical changes

  22. A. Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes • Matter has both physical and chemical properties. • Chemical properties describe a substance’s ability to change to a different substance. • Physical properties are the characteristics of a substance that do not involve changing to another substance. • Examples are: shape, size and color

  23. A. Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes • Matter undergoes physical and chemical changes. • A physical change involves a change in one or more physical properties but no change in composition.

  24. A. Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes • A chemical change transforms a substance into one or more new substances.
